So will re-sending speed data also re-send bearing data?

Naw, im not saying we should be feeding constant bearing data to the TDC, just that we should be able to send new bearing data at any time. Weither that should be a physical TDC feature or a key function is up for debate, but the "bearing" option is much needed.

Also, I should mention that this is for manual targeting when one wants to aim a specific parts of the ship.

As said above, the PK just takes a solution determined by input data and provides a running second by second update to the gyros based on that solution and ownship movement. The ability to change the bearing on the fly allows for the data and solution to remain the same except for the small change in bearing that allows for slight gyro adjusments so we can aim at specific parts of the target. Its like adding a spread angle to the original solution sort of, but much more accurate.

I'll settle for re-submitting the range as a work around provided it doesnt alter the actual range data for the original solution.
